Jillian Melucci plays fiddle and sings in a folk fusion band in West Central Florida. Jillian, who owns Nails by Jillian located in the New Tampa Sola Salon Studios, is also a master nail technician. Talk with Jillian about either and her pulse quickens, her smile widens and her focus sharpens.

When we first sat down to talk, Jillian didn’t mention that she sang and played fiddle. Following the initial interview, I took my notes and did a few writing exercises in order to become more familiar with both the interview's content and Jillian. I felt something was missing with Jillian but couldn’t put my finger on it. Then in our second interview when she told me about her musical outlet, it hit me like a runaway freight train: These other talents were indirectly pushing her nail work to a higher level, especially in one area...

Jillian grew up in the Lake Forest area outside of Chicago. At the age of eleven she began working, doing various jobs. Those early years instilled a sense of responsibility and a stoic work ethic. Working fed Jillian’s independent nature and when she turned eighteen she moved into her own apartment.

Nineteen, working in a Chicago Starbucks and not sure what to do with her life, Jillian moved to Santa Cruz, California seeking adventure. Unfortunately life and adventure are expensive in California and she soon moved backed to Illinois.

Jillian’s willingness to strike out on her own and try to make something happen became her trademark and she moved from the Chicago area to Florida back to Chicago and eventually back to Florida throughout the next decade.

Prior to her last move back to Florida, Jillian was hit by a thunderbolt. She had seen an add for a nail technician school in the local Pennysaver and knew on the spot this would be her future.

After graduation and acquiring her Illinois license, Jillian went to practice her craft for two professionally run salon and spa’s. There her independence and adventuresome spirit met professionalism, teaching coworkers and well run business systems. The net effect was perfect preparation for eventually owning her own studio.

Confident in her ability to score a quality gig as a nail technician in Florida, Jillian moved back with husband Mark (a fellow musician), and children, Chloe, Riley and Vinny. While she didn’t find that quality salon, she did find work in the New Tampa area. When the Sola Salon opportunity came up in 2013, Jillian was primed, willing and ready to make the move into her own shop.

So what is the correlation between Jillian’s musical talents and her work at Nails by Jillian? I believe that her creative musical expression allows an overall greater creative openness, eases learning and helps Jillian produce unique and exclusive nail designs. Jillian’s smile lights up like a neon sign when she talks about how no two clients have the same nail design.

As Jillian approaches one year at Nails by Jillian, her sense of freedom comes from being able to take care of clients on her own terms, having control over products used, controlling her own destiny and making women feel good about themselves. In talking with Jillian, it is clearly evident that teaching the art and craft of nail work is in her future.

Jillian educated me on the fact that not all nail technicians are artists out to make their clients feel good about themselves. Some are just in it for the money. Being a nail technician is dignified and respectable work, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. But if I am a client, I want someone working on me who is passionate about their artwork, cares about me and puts great effort into making me feel good about myself. The fact they are a singer and fiddle player doesn’t hurt either.

Monika Begdouri, née Pierzchlewicz, (prounounced Pierre-SHLUH-veech) was born in Paris, France. Her family moved to Vancouver, British Columbia when she was a baby. They moved again when she was

eleven to Port Charlotte, Florida - right into the hotbed of professional tennis instructors located on Florida’s Gulf Coast. It was Monika and her parent’s intent to be the world’s top rated women’s tennis player.

From Paris to Vancouver to Port Charlotte. Add to that Monika is one hundred percent Polish and the Florida move happened to coincide with normal pre-teen tumultuousness. The culture change bordered on overwhelming.

Culture change wasn’t Monika’s only challenge. Fear and insecurity were right there in the mix. Fear of success and fear of rejection. When one harbors fear and insecurity, one tends to become walled off from one’s peers and classmates. Further isolation occurred in eleventh grade. School began to interfere with tennis practice. So she started homeschooling.

Monika made a decision that year to confront her fears and insecurities. The notion to do this was beyond her years. In fact, when historians look back to determine what Monika did to become successful, they will discover that the year she rationalized her fears and insecurities by writing poetry, was one of the most pivotal in her life.

Monika’s self-rationalization did not abolish her inner demons. But it gave her a tiny edge and created an opportunity to enter and eventually win a national songwriting contest. That experience proved to her she had the power to make things happen. Not just your run of the mill things, but wonderful things.

Monika went back to public school in twelfth grade, just about the same time as her desire to be a national tennis champion began to fade. Afterwards she attended and received a bachelor’s degree in International Studies from the University of South Florida - in the worst possible year for college graduates since the 1930’s - 2008. Monika then went back to school and obtained an MBA from USF as well.

My Pieces of Freedom series so far has focused on professionals who labored their way through years of working for the Man or to be politically correct, Woman. The freedom that they are beginning to feel as entrepreneurs themselves, has been forged from the shackles of yesterday. Aside from a wayward owner / manager or so, Monika has not traveled this road. The freedom in her life, has come from bending the internal steel of insecurities with the hammer and fire of resolve.

The steel however, has an annoying habit of coming undone. She must continue the fight. While the initial pounding required brute strength, Monika discovered an ally that proved to be of considerable help. It would add power to her hammer and force to her fire. It would ease her weary body, lighten her heart and bring hope. It would make all the difference. Her ally is love.

In the thirty plus years I was a manager, I discovered many traits that contributed to my co-worker's success. For some reason one combination of traits seemed to stand out and run consistent with all. The persistence to figure things out,* make things happen and the ability to self-teach.

Monika shines in all three. It’s why I would do business with her, buy whatever she sells and recommend her to anyone who will listen. Even with the bachelor’s degree and the MBA, Monika is self-taught. Add in the determination to figure things out, make things happen, old country values and ethics from her parents and the fact she’s only twenty-something, if one gets the notion that investing in her would yield a healthy return, one would be right.

To identify what makes Monika Begdouri so special we need to pull the curtain back on what motivates her as not only a professional photographer, but as a wife, daughter, sister, friend and business person: Love. She is passionate about photography and loves her craft. Monika doesn’t just take pictures, collect payment and go on with her life. She is lasered in on capturing moments of love. She wants her clients to look back one day at those pictures and remember the love and to feel the positive emotions that surrounded their special occasion.

What motivates Monika also accelerates her talent. This is my WHY to whatever it is that she is selling. It isn’t about revenue, profit or fame, it’s about making a difference in someone’s life. And that makes all the difference.

Erika gets into Pieces of Freedom herself as she talks about living her life as the person she is, not who someone else wants her to be. Interestingly she has a term for this: "living someone else's should's." Like, "you should go to college."

A huge shoutout to Jonathan Fields for having the courage to not edit out his guest's swear words. Out of respect for his viewers he's instituded the ESRB rating system. So up front he tells us what to expect. For instance, Erika here. She uses swear words and he rates the recording accordingly. For me it's about athenticity. If using swear words is what you're about, then anything less is just not plain authentic. Now if one uses swear words in a vulgar and demeaning way, then I probably don't want to be listening to them anyway and I am quite sure neither would Jonathan.

Sometimes Pieces of Freedom are brewed in a cauldron of work experience, neglect-by-managementand living life. Sometimes Pieces of Freedom are forged by inept guidance counselors, clueless school officials and well meaning parents. In Jana Sherpan’s case, the foundation for the evolving Pieces of Freedom in her life are from all of the above. But magical bits of freedom did not appear because Jana managed to dodge the perils of school, log miles of work and gain experience. No, they began to appear because she allowed her soul to listen to and act upon the faint whisper of destiny - the whisper of opportunities that would eventually define her life.

An indifferent school system launched Jana into real life void of direction. With the distant drum beats of dance, choir, voice and fashion fading into Jana’s past, she embarked upon college to get a degree and go to work - because that’s just what one did in the late 1980’s. While in college Jana worked in her sister Jill’s beauty salon. An associate’s degree later and she realized that the well trodden path through college wasn’t for her.

Photo by Monika owner of Mona Paris Photography. Monika is also responsible for the photos on the wall that reflect Jana's artwork.

Maybe Jana could find a career in the arts. But her dad, a tool and die maker by trade, instilled both an unshakeable work ethic and the advice to fall back on a trade should the pursuit of unconventional education not work out. So Jana, who had above average grades in high school and college, enrolled in beauty school. She was not deterred by a misguided school official who told the new students:

If you aren’t book smart and work well with your hands, you’ll do good as a hairdresser.

One of those life whispers started off faint but hit Jana right between the eyes when she entered a multi-school fashion contest. While driving to school one day, Jana was overtaken with the urge to pull over and sketch out her contest design. That sketch provided her with the insight that she could be involved with fashion, art and design while cutting hair at the same time. She went on to not only win the avant garde category but also the best in contest award.

Jana graduated and went to work in Chicago’s trendy Streeterville area. But a desire to be close to family inevitably initiated a move to the suburbs and a position in a salon where she was to work for the next eighteen years. Towards the end of Jana’s tenure there she got the opportunity to get training and certification in New York and become a Ouidad curl specialist. After passing the test, Jana and a coworker came back and began to practice the craft. They were the first two Ouidad specialists in the state of Illinois. Soon people were traveling to the Chicago area from throughout the country for her unique talent.

One day after working on a client, the faint whisper visited once again. She came to the realization that a combination of her Ouidad training and the evolution of her own talent had outdistanced and outdated her previous work. It caused her to look at hair differently. And it caused her to embrace and celebrate the curl. Well, in part that is. Truth be told, her client’s reaction to their unleashed and enhanced natural beauty had quite a bit to do with it too.

A north star in Jana’s life is proximity to family. So when her dad decided to move to Florida, their entire family did as well. Leaving an eighteen-year client list, especially one that was gaining serious momentum due to Ouidad, was not an easy thing to do. But Jana found a salon owner whose religion, family and work values spoke to her. And with her credentials in place, she was quickly hired.

As I talk with hair stylists, a recurring theme is beginning to appear: befuddled management / ownership. Whether it’s ignorance or nastiness, salon management for the most part, has a hard time hanging on to talented stylists. With this trait settling in on her latest place of employment, Jana’s attention was acutely ready for the next whisper. And so when the opportunity to open up her own salon with Sola Salon Studios in New Tampa came, she listened and then acted.

Today Jana is the owner of The Curl Specialist located in the Sola Salon Studios in New Tampa. Talking with Jana I believe another, albeit more subtle whisper, took place. And you and I have the pleasure of front row seats in watching it play out. Hands down Jana is a Ouidad expert. Based on client pictures, probably one the most talented in the country. Any stylist can get Ouidad training however and, if they pass the test, become certified. But what separates Jana from the girl down the street are the skills, talent and experience not only that she had prior to Ouidad, but those that she continues to develop today. And so, consequently, the change and transformation that we are in the midst of watching is not Jana the Ouidad specialist, it’s Jana the master stylist who was once trained by Ouidad. In other words, Jana is developing and blossoming into her own brand and not that of Ouidad. That her following at Bloom, the largest beauty social network in the world, is over seventeen hundred people and growing is evidence of this latest whisper and its role in defining her life. Jana's Bloom profile.

She is your daughter. She is your niece. She is your friend. Close your eyes and think American. Think baseball, apple pie and Chevy trucks or maybe Cosmopolitan, New Kids on the Block and the girl next door. Now open your eyes. Tammy Sand is that girl next door, the 21st century girl next door that is. Let’s draw the drapes and peek in on the journey of a fresh, entrepreneurial hair care professional destined to continue her path down the road of brighter futures.

Tammy Sand graduated from a southern Ohio high school in the late 1990’s and went to work at the front desk of a medical institution. One year and one boatload of boredom later, she escaped. Tapping into a love of doing her girlfriends’ hair and guided by an aunt who was a hair stylist, Tammy enrolled in a local college to study cosmetology and business. A few months in and an almost too-good-to-be-true opportunity arose. She scored a ground floor position working at a sixty chair Intercoiffure influenced salon. In less than a year Tammy had her own chair.

For the next seven years Tammy pursued continuous education, countless certifications and a never-ending well of peer knowledge, wisdom and support. The key to that last statement is peer because management was nonexistent*. This atmosphere afforded a certain amount of freedom that Tammy and serious coworkers took advantage of by helping each other increase their skills and professionalism. One detriment to hands-off management was hands-off building care. And the decline of a vibrant infrastructure for customers proved instrumental when the muse whispered a long time truth into Tammy's ear. "It's time to move to Florida girl."

Tammy and her husband, Joe, moved to Florida in 2008. Armed with sparkling letters of reference, Tammy took to the task of finding work in Tampa. She met with some indifference, rudeness and lack of professionalism as she made her way from salon to salon. Fortunately those did not constitute the area's majority and Tammy quickly found a position in a New Tampa salon and spa as a contractor. It was during the next few years that her mettle would be tested and character forged.

There wasn't enough business at this salon to sustain Tammy. So she worked out an arrangement with an Ohio colleague to commute back once every six weeks and spend one fifty hour week cranking out hair care for former and new clients. Tammy pushed this frenetic pace for two and a half years. Then a tossed-out piece of direct mail almost cost her a shot at an opportunity that she'd been long coveting. Fortunately a coworker received the same opportunity in the mail and told Tammy. Rich and Mary Saltzman were beginning to lay the groundwork for their yet-to-open New Tampa Sola Salon Studios. A chance to be her own boss, set her own schedule and care for clients on her own terms was just what Tammy needed.

Walk into Tammy's fully operational studio now and the first thing you feel is comfort. It totally reflects the disposition of a professional business woman bent on providing customer delight. As a matter of fact during my last visit, Tammy was enlightening me on the complexities and importance of studio lighting. Her end of the conversation bordered on science while mine bordered on silence. I was in awe of the thought and care she put into getting it just right.

That statement not only speaks volumes about Tammy, it puts a frame around past obstacles.

There’s an ember slowly burning below the surface of Tammy Sand, the newly minted business owner. It hungers for the winds of more experience, knowledge and wisdom. As those winds blow and fan the flame of her entrepreneurial spirit, Tammy will continue to evolve and redefine what we've come to expect out of that girl next door.

*The environment at this salon was perplexing. Ownership excelled at a few things but completely missed the boat on others. Furthermore, Tammy's experience with a high school guidance counselor was just plain nauseating. Sometime soon I hope to begin a parallel series to Pieces of Freedom that reflect upon the leadership, management, customer service and education of some of these folks who are quickly becoming my heroes.

Suzi needs to lose a little weight. After all that’s why she’s in your weight loss group. But that’s where the similarities to Suzi and your seven other girlfriends come to a screeching halt. You and everyone else in the group would die for Suzi’s life.

What does Suzi have that you and your crew do not? What is it about Suzi’s life that you’d be willing to pack up the husband and dog and send them on a slow boat to China for? Well, maybe not the dog.

It certainly isn’t her income. As a freelance writer and painter of abstract art, she barely makes more than the college student waiting tables at First Watch. It isn’t her apartment. It isn’t her car...she doesn’t have one. And it isn’t her husband...she doesn’t have one of them either. Well, maybe... no, we won’t go there.

Yet every Thursday night, you and the girls clamour around Suzi like inbetweenie boppers at a Justin Beaver concert. Why?

Pieces of Freedom surround Suzi and her life. Pieces of Freedom are elements of our lives when we're the person we most wish to be, doing what we love. When we’re in this state we neon-light it to the world - without even trying. With but a glimpse, the world knows that our spirit cannot be touched by the Man, by the boss, by company or government. We might as well have the word Free branded into our forehead.

I discovered a version of the term Pieces of Freedom in Dr. Phil McGraw’s book Self Matters. In the chapter titled, Defining the Authentic Self, Phil talks about the authentic-self being your real, true identity. It’s the sum of all of your skills, talents, gifts, interests, values, strengths, insight and wisdom. When we’re leading the life and involved in the career we most wish to be, it’s impossible to mask our radiance, our authentic-self.

Do we crave to Be Like Mike because of his athleticism or is it because his athleticism allows him to be who he truly is? Okay, not fair. Of course we want to be athletic like Mike. And who doesn’t want to be like the pro baseball player who hits a grand slam home run in the bottom of the ninth in game seven of the World Series for his team to win by one run? Or the gymnast who sticks a ten in the final event for her college team to win the NCAA’s? But when you really peel back the layers of what we dig in others, isn’t it their freedom to be and express who they truly are? The freedom to make a difference in the world while being yourself. Isn’t that it?

Like Suzi’s friends, I am magnetized if not flat out polarized by the Pieces of Freedom I find surrounding others. To tell you why is probably something Dr. Phil and I need to work out, but needless to say I have a deep desire to not only be around the Suzi’s of our world, but I have one to write about them as well.

Please join along in my journey to explore the lives of people who have embraced their authentic-self and are doing what they love. Cruise over to our newly forming Pieces of Freedom Facebook Page and feel free to join in on the conversation!

I set aside a painful moment in the sports-watching-history-of-Dave to use this video. My apologies in advance to all my brothers and sisters who had their hearts crushed at the same time. With the exception of that moment, I love this ad!

After completing a cosmetology program and graduating from high school in central Michigan in the late 1990’s, Jennifer Trombley went to college. It didn’t work out. Soon after Jenn got a job working as a hair stylist in a nearby town and enrolled in cosmetology school to pursue an instructor’s education.

The salon where Jenn worked was run by professionals. Professionals in business, in management and in artistic expression. Employee handbooks, code of conduct and crystal clear expectations were standard operating procedures. A free, creative and wild child, would Jenn be able to ply her craft in this stoic establishment? After she’d been there awhile, Jenn came to work with her first tattoo. Actually, she was the first employee to ever get a tattoo. Jenn’s hardcore work ethic convinced the owners that ink on her body was not going to hinder the personal connection that she had established with her clients. Nor would it hinder her evolving talent. A stylist’s chair that never went empty wasn’t a hindrance either.

“Are you an author? Are you a poet? Are you a landscaper?”

Jenn moved with her then boyfriend to Florida in 2004 as he pursued a job opportunity. She waited tables for a national restaurant chain while spending time exploring the local salon scene. She paid attention to customer service, organization and cleanliness. Most importantly however; was the salon run professionally? Life would teach Jenn later on that first impressions are often a fuzzy reality and people do change.

Fast forward to 2013. Jenn had worked at two salons under three separate ownerships when the opportunity to strike out on her own became irresistibly irresistible . Rich and Mary Saltzman were opening up a Sola Salon Studios in New Tampa and the fit was perfect. Her own private studio, albeit leased. Hassle-free. Scheduling-free. Drama-free. Free to pursue her calling on her own terms. This was Jenn’s chance to channel that passionate spirit, continuing education and work experience into her own gig.

“Are you a graphic designer? Are you a fashion designer? Are you a set designer?”

If you were to meet Jenn outside of her salon, you would wonder and if you’re like most of us, with a tinge of jealousy; what in the world do you get to do for a living? Her physical appearance casts hints of professional freedom. Lots of people have the latitude of creatively expressing themselves at the day job. The question is, are they able to bridge that expression towards a sustainable living?

This is the connection that Jenn has been able to forge. And now that she is her own boss, this connection is growing stronger and glowing brighter. From the pursuit of never-ending education to personal creative expression to clients excited enough to tell their friends and keep coming back and back, Jenn has channeled who she truly is into a budding and thriving business.

“Are you a photographer? Are you a copywriter? Are you a multimedia artist?”

Jennifer Trombley is a Personal Hair Designer living her 2BU life philosophy and her story is just beginning to rev up. Stay tuned.

Do you like Jenn's work? Has Jenn's artwork made you feel good? Dontcha wanna tell your friends about Jenn? Feel like telling Jenn how you feel? Well, head over to her freshly new designed 2BU Facebook page and tell her!

Jenn's story here is the first installment in my Pieces of Freedom series. I hope to capture and paint elements of freedom that surround not only entrepreneurs like Jenn, but also people who work for others; people who bring their whole heart and soul to work; people who refuse to be harmed by corporate nonsense; people who bring it to others no matter the obstacles before them or their chosen profession.

For the time being however, I am concentrating on the New Tampa Sola Salon Studios and the engaging entrepreneurs who have made the decision to merge their creative talent and business acumen to create a vibrant environment in which to delight clients on their own terms. I don't know about you, but that sure sounds like someone I want to do business with!!

Join in with Jonathan Fields as he interviews Tommy Bahler. But first, I must ask you, are you a dad? Especially if you're a dad to young children. Tommy is seventy years old and the stories he tells are influenced by his dad. So when you listen and watch him, think about how you can be like his dad.

If you like learning and storytelling/listening, you are gonna love listening to Tommy!

Go here to learn about Jonathan's Good Life Project and check out the folks who he's interviewed.

Yesterday I had the most excellent and pleasurable of conversations with Rich and Mary Saltzman, owners of Sola Salon Studios serving the the Tampa Bay New Tampa and Wesley Chapel neighborhoods. There's much I'd like to tell you (and much more for me to learn), about the unique business concept that Rich and Mary deploy, their business philosophy, their story and the salon owners who are open to sharing their individual stories as they relate to business and perhaps most of all, their ability and freedom to express who they are through their work.

My interest in Rich, Mary and the salon owners relates to the freedom that is now part of their lives. This is what my future writing will focus on, not the promotion of their individual businesses per se. Before I move on from the thought of promoting the salon owner's however, I'd like you to think about one thing.

Would I want a stylist working on me who works in a shop laden with the pressures of drama, competition, inattentive / unreasonable owners, overall shop helter-skelter and messiness? Or would I want a stylist working on me who is free to express his or her artistic license?

There is a chance I put the cart ahead of the horse here. Rich and Mary are on board with my project. As are two of the salon owners. But as yet, I have not approached the others (I'm working on it. To be real, I was just so excited about what I witnessed yesterday that I had no choice but to write today). With this in mind, I'd like to tell you something about Rich and Mary.

Rich and Mary understand that the more positive stuff written about both their operation and those of the salon owners, the better it is for their business. They could easily pass out a memo encouraging salon owners to talk with me. But they will not. It's important to them that the salon owners have the autonomy to do their own thing. Perhaps the salon owner might be insanely busy or have other things going on in their life or maybe they just don't feel like participating; no worries, Rich and Mary are totally cool with it. This speaks volumes about these two engaging entrepreneurs.

More to come. Stay tuned. By the way, Rich and Mary have owned a Sola Salon Studios, which is located on N. Dale Mabry in Carrollwood, since 2009.

Helene left a twenty-two year career as a lawyer to open a gluten and dairy-free bakery. After watching Helene for a few minutes I thought, I can't relate. She always wanted to be a lawyer, she loved all of her various positions in the field, she learned and continued to make herself a better lawyer and then she wanted to do something different. Her onscreen happiness tells me that her new venture is a success. I want to dismiss her as one of those right people in the right place who the universe loves and everything they do brings joy and success. Honest to God, Helene's giddiness makes me want to move on. Next!

But I can't. Helene's giddiness is sending me smoke signals. They hint of an intriguing spirit.

So I continue to watch. And then the most magical thing. Helene stops the giddiness on a dime, with the most unusual of grace and continues to do so on and off through the entire video. I've never seen anything like it. At the end of a whimsical moment she gets hardcore serious...subtly. It's so cool. It drew me into the interview and impacted her message. It was there, at the crossroads of giddiness and seriousness that I discovered the incredible effort that this young woman has put forth all of her life. The Universe didn't just bestow upon Helene, she worked her butt off.

The most impressive thing to me about Helene, aside from her spirit, is her ability to engage in a field that she knew nothing whatsoever about, and not only make it work, but to find meaning, purpose and enjoyment. It tells me of a deep, focused, self-directed dive into a field of interest. It gives hope and beams light on those of us floundering about in our indecision and lack of action. It can be done.
